Sure, I don’t disagree about this part of the charge: I just don’t think there’s much difference between any other commerce-oriented business and Amazon on the question of prioritizing store brands.


Customers can actually see all the products at a physical store shelf to make comparisons albeit they may be placed at different heights on the shelves. Amazon essentially hides other competitors on the screen since they get the “buy box” and competition can only be seen by clicking to another screen; vast majority of users do not click to other screens.
